Summary

New Richmond Middle is a public school in New Richmond, Wisconsin, serving roughly 729 students in grades 6–8 as part of the New Richmond School District, and it ranks 93rd of 643 Wisconsin middle schools in 2025–2026 — the 86th percentile with a 4-star rating.

The school exceeds Wisconsin proficiency rates in every reported subject and grade, with science and social studies as its strongest areas. In 8th-grade science, 79.63% of students were proficient versus 51.86% statewide — the highest among nearby middle schools, ahead of Somerset Middle (76.19%), Amery Middle (71.91%) and Hudson Middle (67.50%). Eighth-grade social studies reached 84.72% versus 64.63% statewide, and 7th-grade ELA (71.72%) was the highest in the nearby group. Math is more mixed: 6th-grade math (58.47%) trails Hudson (77.06%), Amery (74.36%), Meyer Middle (68.04%) and Osceola Middle (64.42%), and it fell from 67.76% the prior year. Still, results have climbed sharply in nearly every area since 2022–2023.

The clearest concern is chronic absenteeism, which rose to 14.1% in 2024–2025 from 10.6% the year before. That is below the statewide 17.3% but above the district's 13.3% and higher than every nearby middle school, including Somerset (5.6%), Amery (7.3%) and Hudson (10.5%). On the positive side, the school serves some groups especially well: special education students ranked in the 91st percentile statewide, and low-income students in the 87th. Per-student spending ($14,114) and class size (13.5 students per teacher) sit mid-pack among neighboring schools, so resources alone do not explain the results.
